[GRASS5] Tcltkgrass and dm merged for GRASS 5.7

[Michael Barton]

Glynn,

Thanks for the patches. I'll get them put in over the next couple days. I
also made a small patch to resolve access to the scripts needed for a couple
of entries.

BTW, I thought I'd update my v.in.asciipoints script to allow input of
column names for v.in.ascii.

However, it is still not parsing the string (e.g., xcoord int,ycoord int,id
int,name varchar(20)) correctly. The correct resultant syntax should be:

V.in.ascii ..... Columns=' xcoord int,ycoord int,id int,name varchar(20)'

I get 

'Columns=xcoord int,ycoord int,id int,name varchar(20)'

Or

'Columns='\''xcoord int,ycoord int,id int,name varchar(20)'\''

Neither of which works.

I'll keep working on it.

Michael
